Three contenders vie for ACRRM presidency

VOTING in ACRRM’s first ever contested presidential election is underway, with three candidates vying for the post.

NSW GP Dr Aniello Iannuzzi, who unsuccessfully ran for the AMA presidency earlier this year, will run against Australian Antarctic Division chief medical officer Dr Jeff Ayton and SA rural GP Dr John Birss.

Voting will close 9 October, with the winner to be named at ACRRM’s annual conference in Melbourne at the end of the month.

Outgoing president Associate Professor Dennis Pashen will step down after two years in the role.
